The evolution of coding has always been about reducing friction between human intent and machine execution. We’ve moved from ...

There are dozens of coding languages in popular use today and nobody wants to make the wrong choice. But really, what language you should learn will depend on what you want to do.

Python, meanwhile, is an interpreted language, which means that its human code is converted into machine code line-by-line as the program executes, enabling it to run without first being compiled.

All programming languages have their proponents, but not all are equally equipped with libraries for data science and machine learning. (Image: Igor Stevanovic, Getty Images/iStockphoto) ...

Not necessarily for the data-science and machine-learning communities built around Python extensions like NumPy and SciPy, but as a general programming language.

The language Quantum Machine describes in its materials isn’t what you think of when you imagine programming, unless you’re a machine language coder. What’s machine language?

Since modern machine learning is really only a few years old, now is the ideal time to bridge the technical gap and teach yourself the language of machine learning.

This is why I’ve long argued that BASIC is the most consequential language in the history of computing. It’s a language for noobs, sure, but back then most everyone was a noob.
